With the industrialization which started in the 1600s,
the world economy moved towards the industrial sector and industrial production
step by step from the classical agriculture-based economy that had existed for thousands
of years. The increasing share of industrial production within the national income
gradually revealed the services segment connected to the industrial sector. As the
industrial sector developed and expanded over time, the services sector rapidly
increased its share in the economy. When we look at today's economies, we can
observe this development. It has also been observed that the services sector has
an increasing rate of growth from the 1950s and beyond. In a sense, the services
sector in economies has become a supportive sector for the industrial sector.
While this reality speaks of the growth and stability
of the economies today, it is required to emphasize the growth and stability of
the services sector along with the growth and stability of the industrial sector.
When we talk about the services sector here, we have to consider not only the banking
and finance sector, but also the small and medium-sized enterprises that dominate
the whole economy. In a sense, it can be said that this section constitutes the
sector directly facing the consumers in an economy. Although this segment varies
according to the structure and development of economies, it forms weaker, undersized
and small capital and more labor-based organizations than industry in most countries.
With this aspect, such organizations have more social content and affect social-economic
balances more.
When the world economy is analyzed in the historical
context, the pandemic or other causes of crisis conditions refer to the periods
in which the economies suffered great traumas. Obviously, this trauma means huge
losses for these economies. However, the growth levels achieved for these economies
are not an easy and rather difficult process. And their growth, in the context that
they can bring about structural changes in these economies, means advancement in
the path of economic development for these countries. In such a difficult and troublesome
process, unusual and unavoidable pandemics and other causes of crises are evident,
which explains the weakening of these economies. And this weakening may in some
cases mean collapse for these economies.
With the Covid-19 Outbreak, significant changes have
occurred in the whole economy. While these changes from production to consumption
affect the life processes of society, they have also created serious problems
in tradesmen workplaces. These problems meant the decrease or disappearance of work
efficiency on one hand, and on the other hand, it meant the unemployment of both
the employer and the workforce in these workplaces. In result, while countries’
economic growth rates decrease, people suffered serious unemployment and income
problems. These developments are not limited to certain economies and every country
had to live through these problems. In this article, it will be determined how and
to what extent the crisis situations such as pandemic affect the conditions of world
and especially in Turkey.
